Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most popular red wine grapes is grown in wine regions around the world. New world Cabernet Sauvignon has a richer black cherry fruit flavor, black pepper, and licorice with a hint of vanilla. It has deep red ruby color and expresses fruits like black current, dark cherry, and plum. The darker color of cabernet sauvignon grapes often indicates a possible presence of higher tannins and expands with spicy smoky notes. The cabernet sauvignon grapes produce a variety of full-bodied red wine with dark fruit flavors like blackberry. As a result of the oak barrel aging the aroma notes include clove and vanilla. Also, it has a distinct hint of green bell pepper. This grape variety gives wine high tannin and acidity levels. Earth and mineral notes can vary depending on the terroir. Cabs are dry and range from medium to full bodied. This wine grape is grown in different regions across the world, and the flavor profiles are as varied as the terroir it grows in.
The Napa Valley in California, USA, is one of the most famous wine regions in the New World and has built its reputation. Cabernet Sauvignon is a hybrid of the red Cabernet franc grape and white Cabernet Sauvignon blanc grape. Also known as Petit- Bouchet petit Cabernet, and Sauvignon Rouge. This grape is renowned for its thick skin, and ability to multiply in a variety of climates. It is grown in nearly every wine-producing country in a range of climates. Some of the most notable wine regions include Australia (Coonawarra), Chile (Maipo Valley), Argentina, South Africa, New Zealand, Washington state (Columbia Valley), and California ((Napa Valley, Paso Robles, Sonoma County). While Cabernet Sauvignon of California Napa Valley can grow in different climates, its usefulness as a diverse wine or as a blend component is strongly affected by the warmth of the climate. The vine is one of the last major grape varieties to bud and ripen and the climate of the growing season affects how early the grapes will be produced. Many wine regions in California give the vine sufficient sunshine with few problems in ripening fully, which expands the likelihood of producing varietal Cabernet wines. Terroir plays a role in the importance of viticulture and winemaking. Volcanic gravel loam soil with rocky hillsides and low to moderate fertility is needed to grow its grapes. At harvest and in the cellar fermentation and aging can shape a wine possibly as much as terroir. Choosing a certain yeast may enhance the qualities of the fruit. Length of fermentation and the number, and type of punch downs have an influence, as do the type of cooperage and the age of the barrels.
